Frommer's Smart Deal of the Week: Hawaii from $565 for Three Nights

Pleasant Holidays is running a special promotion granting up to $500 off per couple, plus 50% off companion airfare on departures from San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Hawaii is not usually a cheap place to visit, especially going into peak season, so any help you can get as a traveler is worth noting. Pleasant Holidays (tel. 800/742-9244; www.pleasantholidays.com) is running a special promotion granting up to $500 off per couple, plus 50 per cent off companion airfare on departures from San Francisco and Los Angeles, valid for fall travel. The package includes three nights of hotel accommodations, round-trip airfare, and all hotel taxes, and are priced based on double occupancy. The companion discount is valid for new reservations now through December 31 and for travel now through February 29, 2009.

The prices start from $565 for three-night trips to Oahu, for the Castle Hokele Suites, an all-suite hotel in Waikiki that's located three blocks from the beach. The stay includes free continental breakfast for two and the company's travel protection plan, which saves travelers about $200 per couple and covers the replacement of lost and stolen travel documents, guarantees the price of reservation, and a refund on any unused land component. Many of the other hotels in the special for Oahu are located in Waikiki, such as the Aqua Waikiki, priced from $585 overlooking the beach. The prices and the level of luxury climb accordingly.

For those looking to Maui, three nights are priced from $599 for a condo, the Lahaina Shores Beach Resort, which is indeed located on the beach. The property has studio, one-bedroom and one-bedroom penthouse condos with full kitchens and large lanais. Kauai and Hawaii's Big Island fetch a higher price. Castle Kiahuna Plantation and Beach Bungalows are priced from $865 for three nights. This, too, is a property with condos, with one-bedroom suites situated on 35 acres on Poipu Beach. Finally, three nights are priced from $925 for the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort and Spa, an oceanfront property. This property features a guaranteed upgrade to a deluxe ocean view room. More hotels are available for your perusal for this package on the Pleasant Holidays site.
